Sec. 11. (a) The county executive of a county without a tuberculosis hospital may, by contract, arrange for the care and treatment of the county's citizens in a tuberculosis hospital in another county. The contract must fix the minimum number of patients to be sent to the hospital for any year and the amount of compensation to be paid for the care and treatment of those patients. The compensation must not exceed the actual cost of the operation of the hospital plus the interest charge on the bonded indebtedness of the hospital.
(b) The county fiscal body of the county contracting for the care and treatment of tuberculosis patients shall appropriate an amount out of the county general fund sufficient for the care and treatment of tuberculosis patients and this fund constitutes a special fund. The county may levy a tax for this purpose or the county executive may pay the hospital out of the general fund.
